Line 21:
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The sex scene comes out of ''nowhere'' and has no relevance to anything that happens before or after it.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The soundtrack is a surprisingly decent collection of modern heavy metal artists.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The 713 sergeant, Miles, who comes across as the only competent character in the entire film and is significantly better-acted than most of the main cast (although that's not saying much). Sadly, [[Redshirt Army|he doesn't last long]], although he does outlive literally everyone else in his unit.
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: The creatures that Carnby and the others encounter are meant to evoke terror, but fail thanks to the shoddy CGI.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: One of the possessed civilians about to attack Burke is killed by a bullet than can clearly be seen zooming two feet above her. As has been noted, the glowing effect was added in post-production, and ''no effort was made to correct it''.
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]:
** According to a [[Something Awful]] interview with Blair Erickson, one of the original script-writers, a first draft of the script would have hewed much closer to the video games on which the film was based, but Boll discarded the idea in favor of turning it into a straight-up action film. At least ''someone'' was trying. Too bad he wasn't on the final scripting team.
** As Spoony, the Nostalgia Critic, and Linkara pointed out in their review, you can ''clearly see a dead body moving and getting up on camera''.
** In another example a woman gets killed by a gunshot that misses her completely. Because it's a post-production CGI effect, this means that somebody deliberately had to design it to miss that person.
* [[
* [[Video Game Movies Suck]]: Arguably the foremost example of all time.
